Together with this Sadnesss

I find these things
Only become what they are
To me when I feel them
Together

Together with this sadness

Where I got this this sadness
To be sure you do not know

It comes from having had and lost
All of this before

Depth Charge: On a recent visit to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, I was overwhelmed by Henri Matisse’s “The Red Studio” and I stood transfixed by its unifying field of red. The identifying label for the painting had a quote from Matisse: “Where I got the color red – to be sure, I just don’t know. I find that all these things only become what they are to me when I see them together with the color red.”
